Competitive Private Supply of Public Goods / Provision privée des biens publics en compétition

Dragicevic, Arnaud; Meunier, Guy - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2010

This paper compares guilt alleviation and competition for social status in the private provision of a public good. When agents are intrinsically impulsed, that is, they mostly provide the public good in order to alleviate their guilt, they tend to free-ride. In contrast, when agents are...

Strategically Planned Behavior in Public Good Experiments

Keser, Claudia - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2000

Subjects submitted strategies for playing a public good game. The strategies interacted with each other in a computer simulation. They could be revised and resubmitted for a second and a third simulation round. The strategies' average contribution to the public good increased from one simulation...

The Build-up of Cooperative Behavior among Non-cooperative Agents

Benchekroun, Hassan; Long, Ngo Van - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2006

We develop a theoretical model in which each individual is, in some ultimate sense, motivated by purely egoistic satisfaction derived from the goods accruing to him, but there is an implicit social contract such that each performs duties for the others in a way that enhances the satisfaction of...

Mobility and Cooperation: On the Run

Ehrhart, Karl-Martin; Keser, Claudia - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 1999

In public goods experiments where subjects may change groups, we observe a continual flight of the more cooperative subjects away from the less cooperative ones. The less cooperative subjects attempt to enter cooperative groups in order to free-ride on their contributions. Lorsque les sujets...

Voluntary Contributions to a Public Good: Non-neutrality Results / Contributions volontaires, biens publics

Long, Ngo Van; Shimomura, Koji - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2006

We show that the famous neutrality result in the theory of public good contributions (Warr, Kemp, Bergstrom, Blume and Varian) depends crucially on the assumption that agents do not take into account the effect of their public good contribution decisions on the relative price of the private...

Mandatory minimum contributions, heterogeneous endowments and voluntary public-good provision

Keser, Claudia; Markstädter, Andreas; Schmidt, Martin - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2014

In a public-good experiment with heterogeneous endowments, we investigate if and how the contribution level as well as the previously observed fair-share rule of equal contributions relative to one's endowment (Hofmeyr et al., 2007; Keser et al., 2014) may be influenced by minimum-contribution...

If we can simulate it, we can insure it: An application to longevity risk management

Boyer, M. Martin; Stentoft, Lars Peter - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2012

This paper proposes a unified framework for measuring and managing longevity risk. Specifically, we develop a flexible framework for valuing survivor derivatives like forwards, swaps, as well as options both of European and American style. Our framework is essentially independent of the assumed...

Joanis, Marcelin - Centre Interuniversitaire de Recherche en Analyse des … - 2009

This paper sets out a simple dynamic probabilistic voting model in which a government allocates a fixed budget across electoral districts that differ in their loyalty to the ruling party. The model predicts that the geographic pattern of spending depends on the way the government balances...
